ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS FOR A Refreshed APPEARANCE


A SUBTLE, CONFIDENT WAY TO SOFTEN LINES AND LOOK MORE RESTED

As we move through life, fine lines and wrinkles naturally start to appear. These often show around the eyes, forehead and mouth.

For many people balancing work, family and everyday demands, these changes can feel like they arrive faster than expected.

Anti-wrinkle injections offer a safe and clinically proven way to soften expression lines and help prevent them from deepening. The focus is always on maintaining your natural look.

At Dr Neale Aesthetics in Suffolk, every treatment is tailored with precision and care. The aim is to help you look refreshed, not frozen.

HOW IT WORKS


Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin type A to reduce muscle activity in targeted areas of the face.

These muscles are often responsible for the repetitive movements that cause dynamic lines, such as frown lines or crow’s feet.

By gently relaxing the muscles, the skin has a chance to smooth and soften. Dynamic lines are reduced, and with regular treatments, even static lines can begin to fade over time.

YOUR CONSULTATION


Before any treatment, you’ll meet with Dr Neale in a relaxed, confidential setting at our clinic in Lavenham.

Every treatment plan is shaped around your goals, your facial structure, and your medical history. This ensures the results are not only safe and appropriate, but also aligned with your preferences, whether that’s maintaining movement or minimising it.

    • An infection or inflammation at the injection site

    • Known allergies to botulinum toxin or its ingredients

    • Muscle-related conditions such as myasthenia gravis or motor neurone disease

    • If you are taking certain medications, it may mean that anti-wrinkle injections are less suitable for you. 

    Your suitability will always be assessed thoroughly in consultation with Dr Neale.

  • Most people find treatment very manageable. A very fine needle is used, and while some areas may sting briefly, the discomfort is usually mild and short lived.

  • Side effects are generally mild and temporary. These may include:

    • Redness or swelling for a few hours

    • Minor bruising, particularly around the eyes (resolves in 7 to 10 days)

    • Headaches (rare, and usually short lived)

    • Infection is extremely rare, and full infection prevention measures are followed in clinic. It is important that you follow the post-treatment advice given to reduce the risk of infection further.

    • All risks will be discussed with you before treatment.

  • To help ensure the best results:

    • Stay upright for 4 hours after treatment

    • Avoid applying make-up, spray tan or touching the area for 6 hours

    • Avoid strenuous exercise, heat, steam rooms and alcohol for 48 hours

    • Wait 2 weeks before having facials, fillers, or other skin treatments

  • Absolutely. 

    Dosage, placement and depth of injection can all be adjusted to suit your preferences. If you want to retain natural expression while softening specific areas, this can be achieved with precise, conservative treatment. Your follow-up appointment allows for any further adjustments if needed.
